Some Uses for Lemons.

After paring the lemon very thin (as the white part is bitter), and extract-* iug the juice, there are many ways for using the “remains.” Have you a tin, copper, or brass saucepan? Do not waste your time and muscle scouring it. Fill with cold water, drop in some of that discarded pulp, set it on the back of the stove, and let it boil about ten or fifteen minutes; then wash, and it will be as bright as new. If any spots remain, take some of the lemon, 1 dip it in salt, and rub thoroughly; all' stains will disappear as if by magic.’ Copper boilers can be cleaned by rubbing with the lemon and salt, in less time than by the old process, and one is less liable to be poisoned. For those, long, dark scratches which reveal that some one has tried to light a match by drawing it across the paint, take half a lemon and rub briskly, then wash off with a cloth moistened in water, then, dipped in whiting; rub well with this cloth, and in nine cases out of ten the mark will vanish. These marks defy soap and water; of course, anmatimes they are burned in so deeply that they can not be erased. The pulp of lemon rubbed on the hands will remove all stains. Drop a few drops of lemon juice on a rust spot, sprinkle with salt, and lay in the sun; the rust will disappear.—Hbusekeaper’s Weekly.
